Course description

This three-year accredited degree allows the widest possible choice of modules in the fields of electronic design, instrumentation, communications, optical engineering, new electronic devices, microelectronics, very large scale integration (VLSI) and engineering software. This flexibility enables you to experience many aspects of electronic engineering before specialising. Your final year project work may be within any of these fields.

Modules

All students follow a common programme in year one and you will study modules such as Computer Engineering, Engineering Analysis, Power and Energy and Information Systems. In year two, you will continue to improve your understanding of electrical and electronic engineering, and your design skills will be developed through a variety of laboratory-based subjects. In year three you have the opportunity to undertake an individual project as well as a number of varied optional modules such as Power Electronic Design, Digital Communications and Control Systems Design.

Employment prospects for graduates of this subject

This is one of the more popular areas to study engineering and there is not quite such a serious shortage of electrical engineers as there is of other engineering subjects - but there's still plenty of demand. The most common jobs are in telecommunications, electrical and electronic engineering, but there is some crossover with the computing industry, so many graduates start work in IT and computing jobs. At the moment, there's a particular demand for electrical engineers in the electronics, and the car and aerospace industries, and also in defence, and salaries can vary across the country depending on the industry you start in. Bear in mind that a lot of courses are four years long, and lead to an MEng qualification — this is necessary if you want to become a Chartered Engineer.
